Review of Lancaster Gate Hotel

We stayed at Lancaster Gate Hotel for 3 nights.
The nearest tube station is ‘Lancaster gate’ (when you come out of ‘Lancaster gate’ tube station turn right go straight up the road, pasted ‘The Swan’ pub and the hotel is about 2 minutes’ walk away on your right hand side).
The hotel is also about a 5 or 10 minute walk to/from Paddington train station (but we only realised this on our last day)
We arrived about 10pm, Check-In was very smooth and the reception lady was polite and informed us about breakfast times etc…
Our room was on the 6th floor, the room was very clean and complete with Tea/Coffee making facilities, Trouser Press, Electronic safe, Flat screen TV (with loads on TV channels to choose from) Fridge, seating area and working desk, there was also extra pillows / blankets too (which was ideal as I like a lot of pillows)
The bathroom was very clean, and had a Shower & Bath; it also had complementary toiletries along with 4 towels (I did miss not having a face cloth though) and hair dryer.
Over all the room was perfect for a city break and the bed was comfortable too, the air-conditioning worked (and was welcome, as it was really hot in London during our stay).
Breakfast was included during our stay, there were numerous different cereals, breads and fruits to choose from, and there was also a good selection...We stayed at Lancaster Gate Hotel for 3 nights.The nearest tube station is ‘Lancaster gate’ (when you come out of ‘Lancaster gate’ tube station turn right go straight up the road, pasted ‘The Swan’ pub and the hotel is about 2 minutes’ walk away on your right hand side).The hotel is also about a 5 or 10 minute walk to/from Paddington train station (but we only realised this on our last day)We arrived about 10pm, Check-In was very smooth and the reception lady was polite and informed us about breakfast times etc…Our room was on the 6th floor, the room was very clean and complete with Tea/Coffee making facilities, Trouser Press, Electronic safe, Flat screen TV (with loads on TV channels to choose from) Fridge, seating area and working desk, there was also extra pillows / blankets too (which was ideal as I like a lot of pillows)The bathroom was very clean, and had a Shower & Bath; it also had complementary toiletries along with 4 towels (I did miss not having a face cloth though) and hair dryer.Over all the room was perfect for a city break and the bed was comfortable too, the air-conditioning worked (and was welcome, as it was really hot in London during our stay).Breakfast was included during our stay, there were numerous different cereals, breads and fruits to choose from, and there was also a good selection of hot food to choose from too. Over all I was really happy with the selection on offer for breakfast. We ate at the hotel once in the evening, (I had the Scampi and my partner had a curry), the food was very nice and reasonably priced too! (About £10 per dish), the carpet though in the dining area needs replacing, it’s filthy, and quite off-putting.The hotel also has a promotion: 2-for-1 on cocktails from 6pm – 8pm every day, Wi-Fi is £5 per 24 hours, and if you charge it to your room, you can use up to 4 devices, I can’t comment on the speed as I didn’t’ avail of it.The hotel is perfectly located and it’s just opposite Hyde Park, as the weather was nice we walked / strolled to a few sights over the long weekend: The Diana Memorial Fountain is about a 20 minute walk, Buckingham Palace is a nice 40 minute walk – all via Hyde Park, You can be in central London in about 20 minutes on the Tube (Westminster / London Eye).Over all I enjoyed my stay here, and I’d certainly come back / recommend (just don’t be put off by the dining room / restaurant carpet)*Tip: ‘The Swan’ pub around the corner from the hotel is the perfect spot for evening drinks / entertainment, and the food there is good too.More

Review tags are currently only available for English language reviews.

I was not disappointed by my selection online of this property. Our good sized room was locatd on the first floor with no steps. The room was nicely appointed including iron, ironing board, teapot and tea service, in room safe and hair dryer. The bathroom was large and clean as was the room.The staff was very friendly and always helpful answering my endless questions. The breakfast buffet was plentiful, hot and constantly maintained. We easily walked to underground and bus stations feeling very safe doing so even after dark.

Room tip: Ask for a room near to the elevator if you want no steps. We never heard a sound from the elevator.

My room was nice near Hyde Park but do not get it confused with a larger Hotel called The Lancaster. The hotel staff was very good but the breakfast was just so so. I would stay again if I were going to London.

Room tip: I do not have a tip but my room was nice and the staff was very nice.

My daughter and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and were extremely happy with our choice of accommodation. The service was faultless and very helpful and friendly. We ordered room service twice and the meals were delivered quickly and the food was delicious. We also had the breakfast each morning and there was plenty of variety and it was well organised. The location was perfect. Within walking distance to Hyde Park and the underground, which made it very easy to get around London. It was a nice quiet area and the hotel itself was very quiet. The rooms were not too small and they were very clean. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting London and will stay here again next time we visit London.

Room tip: I chose the family room for myself and my daughter so that we would have plenty of room. The room consisted of a single and a double bed and we found it to be the size for us with two large suitcases.

Our stay in July 2014 was our 6th stay in this hotel. We selected it because it was provided good access to London sights with 4 bus routes and short strolls to three underground stations - Queensway, Lancaster Gate and Bayswater.Rooms are of variable sizes but not too small, however there are steps to get to most rooms - some with up to 10 steps , some only 3.Reception staff are very helpful, and when we asked for a room with no steps to it, we were given a room on the reception level with only 3 steps to it.Breakfast is very good and is refreshed constantly. We like that you can order poached eggs freshly cooked.Location of the hotel is one street back from Bayswater Road, so is quiet.If you like walking, Hyde Park is just across Bayswater Road, Marble Arch is a brisk 15 minute walk, and a few more minutes and you're in Oxford Street with access to great shopping in Regent Street and the theater district.The many restaurants in Queensway cater for reasonable meals, and it is a short stroll to Portabello Road.If you are looking for slight;y more up-market dining go to Craven Road, where there are many small restaurants to chose from.The hotel happily accepts your luggage for storage if you are venturing to the country and returning a few days or weeks later. For GBP1 per day per bag, we stored some items there for up to three weeks while we toured UK.Free WiFi is not offered and the hotel's WiFi rates are high. We used free WiFi in the coffee shops in Queensway.

Room tip: Ask for rooms with fewer steps to them.
